Multi-year time series from data loggers in five cinder cones on the Mauna Kea summit plateau, Hawaii, collected 2012-2020. Variables measured are ground temperature, air temperature, and humidity. Study sites are Puu Wekiu (Summit Cone Crater), Puu Hau Kea (Goodrich Cone), Puu Waiau, Puu Pohaku (Douglas Cone), and Puu Makanaka. The raw data are downloads from HOBO data loggers. The reduced data are merged time series without time gaps and corrected for known issues. It is recommended to use the reduced data instead of the raw data. A list of data loggers with time periods and sensor depths is provided in loggers_summary_mk.csv. For file formats and further information, see README.TXT.
